Finally I propose that we increase the Twt Hash length from 7
to 12
and use the first 12
characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q
or a
(oops) ๐
And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! โ I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.socialโs 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! ๐ฑ #Twtxt #Update
